The winter season invites many plumbing problems into our homes. Ice cold showers, freezing pipes, broken radiators, flooding, leakage, are among the many plumbing hardships that cold weather causes. Plumbing problems come in all forms, and worse, they tend to sneak up on us, just barely inconveniencing us until they eventually escalate into a very expensive plumbing emergency. We cannot escape from the invasion of problems into our plumbing system. Nevertheless, we can maintain our plumbing regularly to prevent any of these problems escalating into plumbing emergencies.
Try some of these winter weatherproofing tips to reduce chances of a burst pipe and subsequently house flooding and water damage to all of your belongings:
-Heat - Heat the entire area of the house and open doors to allow air to circulate.
-Pipe insulation - Use foam padding sleeves or special insulating tape to insulate plumping pipes against freezing. Any exposed pipe or plumbing fixture should be kept warm with space heaters (lamps) from a safe distance.
-Running water - Run water from every valve in your house at regular intervals, this will keep it from freezing over.
Granted, the chances of a plumbing problem happening are considerably higher in homes with poor plumbing maintenance, but emergencies have also been known to occur in homes that have diligently maintained their pipes. It is paramount to know which plumbing company to call in a plumbing emergency. The plumbing company that you peg as your emergency contact should be able to solve your specific problem without delay, and without using the crisis to further its own ends.
